Guinness, one of my
favorite beers. I can drink it
in many different ways, combined with all kinds of dishes and
snacks and I always happen to like the result. With the Guinness
book of world records is almost the same thing.

Whenever you take a look you get surprised with the
occurrences and you also get to learn all kinds of
information very useful for your bar chat. So, in case you don't
know what else to talk about with your bar pals, here are some of
the most curious records regarding drinks.

The most expensive cocktail in history: five
thousand five hundred pounds is the modest amount of money you
would need to pay if you want to hold in your hands the last
cocktail by Salvatore Calabrese. 20ml Dubb Orange Curacao 1860,

because the truth is that there are many which populate the elite
of exclusive and expensive wines. I will not leave you in
suspense any longer. Penfold's Ampule is the number one.

And the price is justified, not only for its
excellent quality Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, but for its hand-cut
crystal and also because of the fact that there have been
produced only a dozen bottles of this precious elixir that could
become the jewel of the Indiana Jones next mission, according to
the aura of mystery that follows its image.

And after all this information and unattainable names, I
suggest to start with a toast (with Guinness of course)
for them number ones, for those which finished second and follow
choosing one of those wines that we would also place in the first
position in our personal ranking , such as:
